Well, it feels like spring has finally sprung -- and not a moment too soon! I think we're all winter-weary and need a break--so here's selection of shopping finds and deals that'll definitely give you a great shopping mental health break and a break on your wallet, too!

EASY-REST MATTRESS SALE: Spring means clearing out winter's cobwebs and starting fresh. For many it means a new mattress. If so, definitely check out the East-Rest warehouse clearance mattress sale taking place in Mississauga with deep savings on luxury memory foam mattresses. (Easy Rest mattresses are designed to provide correct postural alignment and pressure relief. ) . Savings are up to 50% off the retail -- with mattresses starting at only $99. Sale's on today through the weekend.

McCALL'S BAKERS WAREHOUSE SALE: Just in time for spring! I'm thinking Easter and wedding and baby showers and more -- this famous sale is dedicated to baking and cake decorating needs, including cookie cutters, packaging, cake boards, pans, chocolate, sprinkles and so much more. Savings are traditionally up to 50% off the retail and name brand items include Lindt., Callebaut, Wilton, Ateco and much more. Typically, this is a warehouse store (offering wholesale pricing) for businesses in the industry only--so when they open to the public, you want to take advantage right away.

GEOX RESPIRA SPRING WAREHOUSE SALE: I can't believe the excitement -- but anyone familiar with the Geox name of amazing Italian footwear and outerwear for men, women and kids is going to go nuts with the news the Geox warehouse sale is now on for the next little while. The Geox brand is known for its patented, breathable membrane in the footwear that allows sweat to evaporate through the perforated rubber sole, so feet stay warm and dry. And they have lasting power, too. The warehouse offers savings of up to 75% off retail for the whole family .

TORONTO'S BRIDAL SHOW: For all of you planning the big day, definitely head out to Toronto's Bridal Show taking place tomorrow for three days worth of glitz and glamour. Among all the vendors who'll happily give you a hand in planning your event, there's one of the biggest bridal gown sales taking place -- gowns starting at $200 from the Mona Richie Boutique. Along with the fashion shows, there's a gentle-men's hangout featuring an indoor driving range, tasty treats and a free shave and spa experiences too. All under one roof!

ETERNALLY CALVIN: The iconic Calvin Klein fragrance Eternity celebrates its 25th anniversary with the return of the brand's famous 1995 advertising campaign featuring Christy Turlington Burns and Mark Vanderloo, celebrating the launch of the special anniversary edition. Launched in 1988, the vision of Eternity symbolized eternal love and commitment after the excess of the late 1970s and the early 1980s. The first advertising campaign featured Turlington Burns, and shot by famed photographer Peter Lindbergh. The 1995 Eternity advertising visual features Turlington Burns and model Mark Vanderloo in a romantic embrace on a beach. The 25th anniversary edition bottles are cast in a sleek silver metallic finish and filled with the signature scents for women and men. The original campaign video will also be reissued and will complement the refreshed print advertising with the same extended version of the 1995 tagline-- "Time can't touch us. Celebrating 25 years."

MA MAISON FRENCH CULINARY BOUTIQUE: I drive by this lovely little spot several times a week, but I confess I've never visited-- until yesterday. Feeling in the mood for something special, I found it at Ma Maison, a wonderful, whimsical food spot specializing in everything from fresh and healthy salads to sandwiches, quiches to tourtieres, soups to casseroles, pates to sweet treats, fresh croissants, danishes, brioches and more, macarons, artisinal breads and more -- and fabulous coffee! Excellent French fare, the place is small and crammed with goodness, but there's space to sit at a table and enjoy the sustenance. Everything is homemade and the variety of soups is fabulous--pear and parsnip, French onion, vegan and so much more, to name just a few. Staff was particularly helpful, especially as I asked a million questions. Ma Maison has been in the neighbourhood for 10 years and the only downside is it's not located near my office! Eat in, take out, catering, too, wholesome food all made from scratch--including the line of chocolate Easter eggs and bunnies.

KUDOS TO PET VALUE AND WORLD'S TALLEST DOG! April is Pet Appreciation Month at Pet Valu, and the company is raising mammoth support for pets in need this month with the help of Morgan -- the world's tallest female dog. A five-year-old Great Dane, this gentle giant is the Guinness world record's tallest female dog and one of Canada's biggest advocates for Pet Appreciation Month.

Measuring 38.6 inches at the shoulder and weighing 218 pounds, Morgan will be visiting select Pet Valu locations during Pet Adoption Weekend from April 11-13th to lend a PAW for homeless pets. She's also encouraging pet lovers across Canada to show their support by buying an official PAW for $1, $2, $5 or $10 or donating much needed products and supplies.

Now in its fourth year, Pet Appreciation Month raises money and supplies to support abandoned, homeless and abused animals in communities across Canada. One hundred percent of the products and dollars are donated to local pet charities, rescues and shelters.
